The Indian collection with the Slovene Ethnographic Museum in Ljubljana consists of some rare prints, that have been collected by Slovene missionaries on bazaars in Kalkuta at the early 20th century India. They open a set of discourses around colonialism and upper caste Hindu nationalism, as well as the patriarchal structures embedded within these. The stylistic features seen in these images are a product of the social cultural milieu they come from, and that’s why the author examines the aesthetics within this context. She analyses the visual language of these prints, which has been understood as non-deterministic and grafted upon the indigenous aesthetics of the colonised, and emphasizes what was consciously excluded, suppressed and subjugated since long.
